At least 40 private schools in Bengaluru received bomb threat emails early Friday morning, triggering a widespread police operation across the city. Schools located in areas such as Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Kengeri were among those targeted by the unidentified sender.
In response, the Bengaluru City Police swiftly dispatched multiple teams to the affected schools. Bomb Disposal Squads were also deployed, and thorough inspections were conducted on the school premises to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Bomb Threat: Email Claims Multiple Bombs Hidden in Schools
The email, titled “BOMBS INSIDE THE SCHOOL”, was reportedly sent to multiple institutions from the ID roadkill 333@atomicmail.io. The sender claimed to have planted multiple explosive devices containing trinitrotoluene (TNT) in classrooms.
The message stated: The explosives are skillfully hidden, in black plastic bags. I will erase every last one of you from this world. Not a single soul will survive. I will gladly laugh when I will watch the news, only to see the parents show up at the school and to be greeted by the cold, dismembered bodies of their children.
It further said, “You all deserve to suffer. I truly hate my life, I will commit suicide after the news kick in. I will slit my throat and slit my wrists. I was never truly helped, psychiatrists, psychologists, no one has ever cared and no one will ever care. You only care about medicating the helpless and clueless humans.. . Please give a copy of the message to the press/media.”
Investigation teams are actively working to trace the origin of the threatening email.
Responding to the incident, Home Minister G Parameshwara said, “In the past, we have received several bomb threat calls and emails. This time as well, we will verify the school bomb threat. We are not taking any issue lightly and are verifying everything.”
